Overview
- Patch 7.4 arrives Tuesday, December 16, bringing new main‑scenario quests, the Mistwake dungeon, and the Hell on Rails trial.
- The game’s glamour system will allow any gear to be used regardless of job or level, with weapons still limited due to animation concerns.
- The Merchant’s Tale introduces an Advanced Variant tier that lets groups tackle bosses in any order for personal rewards and an optional full‑clear bonus, scaling for two to four players.
- The Arcadion Heavyweight (savage) raid opens on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, after the patch to avoid holiday timing conflicts.
- An interim 7.38 update on November 11 removes the weekly cap on savage raid rewards and adds coin exchanges for upgrading Historia weapons, as 7.4 also expands Cosmic Exploration with Oizys and a new Ruin Exploration system.
